Medical doctor and chiropractor, specializing in neurology

 

I am a dual degreed medical doctor and chiropractor in my early fifties, specializing in neurology. I only weigh a few pounds more today than I did when I was playing football while in college… however those pounds have re-distributed drastically, from my chest, arms, and legs to around my torso! My primary concern was not really the weight, but a lack of energy and concentration. My libido and memory was not what it used to be. Initially, I wrote this off as normal aging and stress. I did my research and it was apparent to me that what I really needed to do was to restore the natural balance of hormones. I realized that I would be a perfect candidate for HGH/ testosterone replacement. I looked at all of the options, from creams to injections to implants. I, like most physicians, am a terrible and non-compliant patient. I didn’t want the inconvenience of a cream and am not crazy about needles unless I am using them on someone else. I also didn’t want to experience the rollercoaster effect that comes with the injection options. It was obvious that the pellet implant was the way to go… a simple 5 minute procedure every three months and don’t think about it again. It also allows a level release of the hormones so no up and down effects. I researched a number of doctors and facilities performing this in the US and abroad. I finally decided on Dr. Meenavalli in San Jose, Costa Rica. I was familiar with the high quality medical care in Costa Rica since I had done some training there while in medical school. I met with him for a consultation and extensive lab work and had the implant procedure the next day. I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge Dr. Meenavalli has in this area, as well as how current he is in the scientific literature. He was very thorough and explained everything very clearly while reviewing my lab results, and making a number of excellent recommendations for lifestyle changes. He is extremely accessible, personally answering emails within hours, something unheard of in American medicine. Since the procedurep> , I have had more energy, my thought process is more clear, and my memory is better. I generally feel better than I have in a long time. I am sleeping better and my libido is back where it should be. Next step is doing better with my exercise and diet, which should be easier now that I am feeling better with more energy and able to handle to stresses of my occupation as well as every day life. I will be getting the implants every three months in Costa Rica, a beautiful country. For me, this is a benefit because I plan a long relaxing weekend in CR every quarter, time I would not have otherwise taken for myself to recharge and relax. Dr. Meenavalli is truly an expert in every sense of the word, I am very happy to have him as my physician. I can and have recommended him to others without hesitation.
